pretty meh...
i´m not going to give it a 10 just beacuse it had a hot chick, action effort behind it (mosty animations) cuse the movie was NOT a masterpiece witch many people dont get when they rate 10
10/10 = masterpiece
but if we get back to the movie, the story was lame and the rest of the movie was just braindead action where the enemies never seams to hit the target and the only thing that saved this movie was sweet animations and well drawed characters and enviroments.
Holy Fuck that was awesome
The bar fight reminds me of the bar fight scene in Heavy Metal 2000. I read your response to a review that probability asked what inspired you.
Awesome job keep it up.
great work
The animations were great, the story interesting. I myself enjoy science fiction and came to watch the first after seeing the 2nd posted, It would great to turn it into a series.
Yo hey
Your hero and the enemies.
When they fight and all, try having the hero and the enemy in the same shot.
Everyone will feel more connected. You do have some shots that do this. But balance is nice. 99% (exaggeration) of the action shots she was by her self. It will help with context too. Where is she in adjacent to them? That'll feel good.
It felt nice when that guy pinned her against the wall, the two characters were in the same shot, not only that but touching each other. That was nice.
By the way, my favorite shot in here is when the guy said "HEY!" and you were in the cockpit looking at the guy, that was nice.
Almost perfect!
Rick, it's safe to say that you took all the capabilities of Flash and put them to excellent use. I noticed that several reviewers compared this to the Heavy Metal films. *Side Note: I've only seen 2000 and it wasn't as bad as its detractors say it was in spite of the numerous mistakes made in the animation production.* Of course this also reminds me of the following:
-Dirty Pair, a series of novels that was adapted into an anime and a comic by Dark Horse. (You should check that out some time.)
-Burning Angels, a TurboGrafx-16 game that wasn't released stateside judging by the cockpit of her spaceship.
-Don Bluth's Titan A. E.
With that out of the way, on with the actual critique:
Graphically speaking, it may not be up to par with what Spike Valentine or Adam Phillips have done, but you managed to put gradients, shaded colors, Tweens, frame-by-frame, etc. to excellent use. Plus, I like the ammount of detail that you put into this even though it lags on older computers. However, I think this could have used some 3D models for the spacecraft. On the other hand, I don't know how good you are at 3D modeling. Speaking of the spacecraft, on one hand, they have a more utilitarian function to them, at the cost of the aesthetics. Soundwise, the music was suitable for the mood you were aiming for unlike that of Arrogancy and Minushi. Although voices would have been nice, I'd rather take subtitles over the shitty voice acting that those aforementioned Flash series are synonymous with. The sound effects are good, but they could have used a bit more diversity. Then there is the directing, which compensates for whatever flaws that this had. To put it another way, the pacing was perfect for what you were aiming for, and a lot of people on here could learn something from you.
What I liked about this:
-The length and the directing
-The animation, while not the best, gets the point across
-Something fresh
-The Music selection
-The character and creature design. Plus, I liked the blood variation.
What I didn't like:
-The spacecraft, while functional, could have been designed better.
-Swift 3D/Milkshape 3D would have helped. Then again, It might not.
-Could have used some subtitles
-The plot could use some improvements, but that's what interquels are for.
-The sound effects, while passable, could have used some more variety.
Overall: In spite of its flaws, this is going to get a nine out of ten.
Wow , you got me, while I was doing this I had (no Lie) a couple of Dark Horse's Dirty Pair and other anime books on my desk and Titan A.E playing on the screen and also Heavy Metal 2000 . but I am working on the second one and I will use your advise on it . Thanks for the advise.
